A man pleaded not guilty Friday to trying to run over a Clark County sheriff’s deputy in a stolen patrol car.
Raymond H. Hall, 30, was arraigned on charges of first-degree assault, second-degree taking a vehicle without permission and second-degree possession of a firearm.
Superior Court Judge John Wulle set trial for Feb. 28.
Hall allegedly led sheriff’s deputies on a chase that started about 2:00 a.m. Dec. 26 in Hazel Dell, and included his being shot.
He is believed to have been the passenger in a car stopped by a deputy, who believed the passenger could possibly be in violation of a no-contact order with the driver. That’s when the passenger jumped out of the car, ran off and got into the deputy’s patrol car, according to court documents.
He allegedly tried to run over the deputy, who then discharged his firearm. The bullet only grazed his torso.
